Clear skies, heavy dew
We, down here in the Bellarine, are sitting under a High pressure which is giving some nice clear days, and nights.
I was doing some spectroscopy last night on Eta Car and the signal started to fade..random cloud??
Finished the run and immediately saw the reason..the scope/ corrector etc. were saturated - heavy dew!
Not something I'm familiar with down here - had major issues while based in the UK, and I have a dew shield and dew heaters, but never needed them - until now!
Today's job will be to ensure everything has dried out in the observatory, find and fit the dew shield and heaters...
